Where are the Craftsman pants and polos?

BlueCrewGuyInMA — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 04:16:47 GMT

I love the Craftsman jeans, too, and was sad to see them disappear! I know the twill workpants have been replaced with duck/canvas workpants. I don't know about the polos, either...they make great work shirts for Sears Blue Crew associates, though! :)

I noticed the Craftsman Jeans and Craftsman Polos are going away from Sears.com :( I love the pants and the polos that craftsman had! They both are very comfortable! The Craftsman jeans I can honestly say were better then my Levis. Please bring them back. They will be missed.

Favorite Craftsman Pants Vanished From Inventory?

TheTradesman — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 16:49:33 GMT

It's been several years ago (perhaps five or more) that I bought a few pairs of Craftsman work pants. I really liked the durability of the pants. I returned to buy a few more pairs and was unable to find them, and in searching the Sears.com site, I couldn't find them there.

To describe the Craftsman denim work pant:

It was a raised-red-labeled Craftsman and had a black re-enforced patch sewn into the right front coin and hand pocket where I could carry my tape measure. The same black re-enforced patch was sewn into the top border of the right rear pocket. Regular re-enforcing denim patches were sewn into the high stress areas of the knees. The pant had a loop sewn into the right thigh/leg area for a hammer etc. (which I sometimes used) The pant was also Teflon impregnated to resist stains.

I find similar pant styles at Sears but the one I really liked seems to have dissapeared.

Waders

I agree!

And, down there in the stream and pond "trenchs" no neighbors need get skittish about my little exercising.

Of course, the mad scientist, maniacle laugh will still "carry"...

I've got it narrowed down to a nice sugar-cane machete, I done found in a local antique shop.

It cuts real good, and is nice and light, for hours of delight!

Still gotta FIND a pair of waders, though.

Maybe KMart?

They carry fish'n stuff...

Tie your ladder to a tree or if their is no tree, back your truck up an tie your lader off ( no biggie) god knowes why you would use a ( wood ) leather no harm . Get" A GOOD Machete" and a hone stone and go to TOWN. Sounds like fun to me Go for it you getting to many tools involed just. There is nothing (almost) that a Good machete can't do. G'day !

Craftsman Socks

AdamO — Mon, 10 May 2010 07:37:21 GMT

Craftsman's got special steel-tipped shoe/boot socks!

I would imagine a little extra padding at the tip, to keep the steel tips off of one's toes...

I've got the brownish-white pair.

Very comfy.

Hey...

Sears.com sells Waders!

I can clean out the creek and two ponds this coming season, when the creek water volume and pond water levels go down.

Let me see...

Gonna need my fold-up hand pruning saw, the C3 Recip Saw, the Cultivator claw, the thorn resistant gloves and maybe a plastic-handled machete (don't want either the wood or leather handled tools falling into the water) and I'm gonna need some sort of ladder affair to get me down into and back outa the water.

This is going to be so much FUN!

Cards?

You got cards?

We don't got no cards.

But, other people can't ring for us, neither...

I have both Kmart and Sears logo on my business cards and this helps to clarify some customer confusion. Remember not everyone til this day knows about the Kmart/Sears marriage.

I would gladly wear a shirt with the logos on them and people would know! if not i would still love to acquire a blue crew shirt

Tool belts!

That is so cool...

I could hold my note book, P-22 stapler, display case keys, snap-ring pliers, tape measure, demo tools and weed wacker piece of line AND... have a place for my "flare".

Would that be nylon, leather, or suede tool belts?

Hopefully, with suspenders...

I recently saw members of the Home Improvement Dept walking around in Sears Craftsman Tool Belts . They were mandated to wear them while on duty.

and walking around with them entirely "empty" tool belt - kinda strange...

I just read a Sears Lawn & Garden Blue Crew description.

Which is OK.

The Tool Department folks, who also cover Lawn & Garden, and Exercise, and Paint already have been told to wear some form of non-company provided blue shirts.

The important thing is to NOT match the original Blue Crew shirts, lest Customers think we are Appliance Sales Associates (a good way to "get hurt" if an appliance is sold by one of us - non-major appliance Sales Associates).

Did you scan the Sears Logo and then use Photoshop or other SW to import onto your cards or did you find it on some website?

Yes, I got the blue crew shirts but with a big old K emboidered in red. Like the shirt but when I'm in the dept. and have to tell customers that in so many words "This is Sears Major Home Appliances", they look a little confused. I have both Kmart and Sears logo on my business cards and this helps to clarify some customer confusion. Remember not everyone til this day knows about the Kmart/Sears marriage.

WELL, the Blue Crew polo shirts are available through Land's End, and normally you can get 35% off as an employee of Sears.

Remember, I said NORMALLY.

Prices and discount may vary...

Don't forget to keep your receipts from ALL your work clothes, as they are a tax deduction.

HI managers received an order form to order up some shirts for HI associates (oxfords, polos, etc.). Next time you're at work, ask about it.

When I was originally going to make cards of my own a few years ago, the DM at the time put the kibosh on it. However, having seen many other associates at other stores doing it, and having a new DM encouraging people to do anything they think will increase their sales, I went ahead and made my own. Yeah, I used the Sears Essentials logo. I've seen many other self-made cards with it, and unless you were using the cards for something other than Sears business, I can't imagine anyone would have any problem with it.

Remember, it's always easier to get forgiveness than permission.

The Tool Department Associates never received ANY blue shirts, even though the company wanted us to wear "blue" shirts.

So, three different Sales Associates can be found in the department, sporting three DIFFERENT shades of blue shirts, all collared.

I've got a nice button-down shirt with someone "swinging a hammer, while riding a horse" logo.

Had a Customer come in with an "Outlet Store" flier, advertising 50 percent off on all exercise machines.

Sorry.

This is a Mall Store...

This machine is 300 dollars off, if you'd care to take a look at it, I have the magnetic key to get it started.
